For two years, Chelsea has answered the call to give back to the community by serving as a mentor for WAM (Women and Math Mentoring Program). The WAM Program partners women in STEM careers with two or three eighth-grade girls from the Durham Public Schools for mentoring. Even though they are asked to meet with their mentees once a month, Chelsea meets with her three girls at least once each week for approximately 4 hours.During their time together, they have experienced field trips to STEM-related institutions from the WAM “Yellow Pages” listings, and field trips that were pre-arranged by WAM. Chelsea also created additional field trip options for the girls by taking them out, or to her home, for an evening of pizza and fellowship. She has also stepped up as a mentor leader, giving direction to other mentors.
